Our read on FLTR
In short
One of the first corporate floating-rate note ETFs to list, back in April 2011. Coupons reset periodically, so rate sensitivity stays minimal, and its index can hold notes maturing anywhere from 6 months out to 30 years.
Stated mandate
The fund seeks to track the MVIS US Investment Grade Floating Rate Index before fees and expenses. The index comprises U.S.-dollar floating-rate notes from investment-grade corporate issuers.
